A senior staff of the school who spoke on condition of anonymity explained that the lack of infrastructure in the school had compelled the authorities

To teach the kindergarten pupils under the shed.

According to her, the school was doing its best to manage the lack of infrastructure in the school and overcrowding despite the fact that the situation was beyond their control, especially since enrolment kept increasing every term.

She said there was no staff common room for teachers; therefore, they were currently using a shed.

“Our main concern is the little children who study in an open shed at the mercy of the weather. We are just praying that nothing bad happens to them,” she noted.

“The ministry’s main focus is to ensure that children are given the best education in a hygienic environment.

We, however, call on members of society, including philanthropists and other corporate organisations, to come to the aid of the school and assist the children in any way that they can,” he added.
